Manager field not visible

[Former Member]

Hello Experts

when en employee applying a leave request, as per Org Structucre if superior position is vacant its not diaplaying any manager field when applying a leave request in ESS. So employees unable to raise leave request's. Here my requirement is if there is no immediate superior it needs to show second level manager in the approvers list.

Kindly through some ideas.

Thanks in Advance

I remember there is a Configuration table that the SAP HR Consultant needs to maintain in order to achieve this. There s no need to do any devlopment for this. It is just a field that needs to be updated in that configuration table. Unfortunately I forgot this table name. Just try to find out from your SAP HR Consultant.

Hi

we tried through configuration also, but it's giving to choose manager as their choice for every employee as approver, which our client not required.

Kindly suggest me.

Thanks

when ever you try to determine the agents in this type of cases then it is a good practice to determine the agents by using the [Evaluation Paths|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/bb/1a5d44764f11d3b535006094b9c9b4/frameset.htm]

try to use rule 168, it is standard way to get the manger. it will automatically check closest manager level which is available.

Hi NC,

I do not know how ESS handles WFs.

If superior is found thru a method/FM what you could do is if it fails to find a superior either hardcode the next level or use the same FM to find another superior from the org struc.

Hope it helps.
